    How to Avoid the Failure of Your Solo Advertising Campaign

    January 16th, 2009

    Despite what your guru may tell you about how easy is to get a nice profit by simply copying and pasting a pre-written solo ad found in the members area of the program you just joined, the reality is totally different.

    No one ever became wealthy by doing almost nothing (copying & pasting some solo ads). Not even your guru! Except for the heirs of the wealthy people …

    Before you start any new solo advertising campaign, be sure that you follow some simple principles:

    1. Tell the truth in your solo ads and don’t mislead the readers. People don’t like the deceivers.

    2. Write an attention grabbing subject line for your solo ad. No one will open a solo ad that has a subject line that says nothing. Like “Check this out”.

    3. Don’t copy and paste a pre-written solo ad that you don’t know whether is good or not or whether people are already bored to see it again and again. You’re not the only one who is told to copy that solo ad. Every new member is given the same wrong advice.

    4. Double check your spelling. Grammatical errors are not your friends. If your credibility is affected, what result do you think you’ll get?

    5. Don’t hide youself by not adding a signature to your solo ad. If no one is signing that ad where a certain thing is recommended, why do you think that the reader will trust such recommendation?

    6. Learn what words to avoid in your ad copy so that your solo ad not to be blocked by spam filters. Don’t assume that many publishers are willing and able to help you.

    7. Test different solo ads so that to see which one is better. Then start your actual solo advertising campaign using the ad that got the better results. Never forget to use an ad tracker.

    8. Choose carefully who will publish your solo ad. There is a jungle out there. There are professionals, but also amateurs and even scammers. An amateur or a scammer may simply destroy your advertising campaign.


    Forget about TinyURL

    January 12th, 2009

    Usually when an advertiser needs to shorten an URL, she or he goes quickly to TinyURL because of the following advantages:

    1) it’s free to use
    2) you can customize the new link.

    Forget about TinyURL (or ther similar shortening services)!

    There are better services in town that offer you MORE for the same price (ZERO) …

    What if such service will also provide you with an ad tracker? Yes, you read it well … something any advertiser needs: an ad tracker.

    And … that ad tracker is not a simple one that shows you only the number of hits … No …

    It gives you referral statistics … and … lets you create an unlimited number of new links that points to the SAME destination so that to be able to track absolutely any advertising effort …

    Do you need more? Well … there are more features …

    You can even geotarget the destination URL. What’s this? You can provide alternative destination URLs that different visitors from different countries are forwarded to. This means you can target your marketing and promotions on a per-country basis.

    And there are more features but I’ll stop here and let you have the pleasure of checking.

    Really … FORGET about TinyURL and get a … CLIGS free account.
